Question

Which of the following is true of Marcus Garvey?

A) He sought to build African nations on the basis of borders that defined existing colonial states.

B) He promoted the unification of all people of African descent into a single African state.

C) He thought of Africans as a complex mix of different races, each of which should be promoted with a unique culture and history.

D) He sought an African identity rooted in geography rather than in race.

Answer 1

He promoted the unification of all people of African descent into a single African state, is true of Marcus Garvey.

Marcus Garvey believed in creating a single African nation and promoted the idea that Africans should be united and become one people with a motto of ‘one aim, one God, one destiny’. Thus, he founded Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League in Jamaica but soon spread it in the United States and became the president of it. Although he was criticized for dividing people in association with the White separatist groups, he tried his best to bring a kind of identity, pride and joy of being an African.
